CURTIS — Trains will be celebrated throughout the village of Curtis on Sunday, June 30. Local businesses will be serving up "All Aboard Burgers" or "HoBo" Stew , with a "Loose Caboose" or "Train Wrecks" to drink. View collections of train gear, date nails, train sets, maps and more-even Thomas the Tank engine and his friends will be here.

Mark Worrall, historian of Michigan railroads and rail wrecks, will speak at the Library at 3 p.m. Also at the library, are the Upper Michigan Central Model Railroad Club with their model train display, and Curly the Curtis Engine.

Curtis is a delightful village in the Upper Peninsula, where a great train day is being engineered. With "Express" sales throughout the village, free "scenic car" (pontoon) rides, Curtis is a train stop you won't want to miss.
